Parents across all education board areas have been left enraged by a process which uses unfairly weighted criteria to prioritise nursery place allocation. We believe these criteria discriminate against many children in a way which is both unnecessary and arbitrary. Many parents now find themselves in the position of having to place their children in nurseries outside their area.
We are asking the Department of Education to put in place a viable and fair strategy to address the situation in time for the current cohort of pre-school children to be allocated suitable, local nursery placement for September 2011.
